Years ago, the Green Building Studio web service would accept gbXML files exported from Revit, and it would analyze a single run to form a baseline for manually-configured alternatives.Insight leverages the brute-force cloud computing capabilities referenced above to run simulations in a fraction of the time of desktop software.In 2014, Autodesk launched EnergyPlus Cloud, a “…high-throughput simulation service that also used parallelization to speed up individual runs.” (see this link).
#AUTODESK ECOTECT ANALYSIS 2012 CODE#
Starting in 2012, Autodesk translated EnergyPlus from FORTRAN to C++ and donated the code back to the DOE / NREL.After the acquisitions of Green Building Studio and Ecotect, Autodesk contributed 15+ enhancements to DOE-2.Autodesk is one of the largest contributors to the development of these file formats over the past decade.Much like traditional energy analysis tools, Insight leverages both DOE-2 and EnergyPlus to perform calculations.So follow along with me for some “insight” on how we got here, pun intended… For myself, I’ve been along for the ride through all of this, some of it has been a little bumpy but I appreciate how much Autodesk has put forth when it comes to time and money to make all of this happen.Īfter reading this I hope everyone better understands the effort that has put into the energy, lighting, and solar analysis tools that everyone uses every day, including energy analysis tools outside of the Autodesk AEC Collection that use EnergyPlus. To fully understand we need to take a bit of a road trip back to 2012 and follow the road back to today.
